The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 579

Chapter 579 You Break It, You Nurse It 2

But Silas was a master of language.

Faced with Tessa’s attempt to decline, he had her cornered with just two words: “compensate” and “responsibility.”

མ་་་ག་

“If Victor’s wound hadn’t been reopened, he probably would’ve been healed by now.”

And just like that, Tessa had nothing left to say.

The way Silas put it… well, it really was her fault. She couldn’t deny it.

In the end, Silas walked off.

Finished

Tessa stood nervously at the door to Victor’s room. The door was open. He was sitting on the bed, on the phone.

She had no idea who was on the other end, but his face was cold and lethal as he said one single word: “Eliminate.”

That word alone was chilling.

He didn’t need to explain–Tessa understood exactly what he meant.

If the target was a person, then that person wasn’t going to see the sunrise.

Just like that, the safe, stable world she knew was gone. Now, lives were paper–thin. Her heart twisted at the realization.

And for the first time, it hit her clearly: this was going to be her new reality.

Victor ended the call.

When he looked up, she was still standing in the doorway like a mouse, gripping the doorframe with pale fingers.

“Come in.”

His voice was flat and emotionless.

Tessa snapped out of it and looked over at him. He was shirtless, his firm chest wrapped tightly with gauze to stop the bleeding.

Rubbing her hands nervously, she stepped cautiously into the room.

For the past few days, she’d done everything she could to avoid Victor–on Stella’s advice, of course.

She hadn’t had a choice.

Every time she got near him, she made a mess.

And not just small messes. Embarrassing, humiliating disasters.

But after what just happened, and what Silas said, she knew she had no choice now.

She had to control herself–no matter what.

“Mr. Victor, are you feeling okay?”

She stood near the bed, voice small.

Victor glanced at her. “Do I look okay to you?”

Finished

Absolutely not!

The guy already had injuries. Getti

body–slammed like that? He was lucky he didn’t go meet his maker.

“I’m sorry… I really didn’t mean to.”

She’d said that phrase more times in the past week than she had in her entire life.

Victor said, “Get me some water.”

“What? You don’t want to? Still planning to sit around and do nothing?”

“No, no! I’ll go now! Right now–just wait a sec!”

She didn’t dare argue. After what she’d done, if she even hinted at slacking off now, it’d be over for her.

Very over.

She rushed out and came back in under five minutes.

“Mr. Victor, here’s your water.”

Her voice was so sweet and obedient she could’ve gotten a gold star for it.

Victor looked at her, and a flicker of amusement flashed in his eyes.

“Peel me an apple.”

“Got it!”

Tessa scrambled off to get an apple.

All the laziness Stella had scolded her for before? Gone. Poof.

Now, whatever Victor said–she jumped to it.

A few minutes later, she came back with the apple, neatly sliced and arranged. She even stuck a fork into one and held it out.

“Here you go.”

Victor took it from her hand and took a bite. Sweet juice spread across his tongue.

Tessa asked, “Is it good?”

Victor nodded. “Tessa.”

“Yes?”
